Can I Get A "Hell Yeah"?

I ask you - is there any better way of waking up than with a nuzzle and a tiny kitten meandering around on your pillow? I think not!

That's my happy for the day, because it's more obscure than the other one I have, which is Holy crap the show actually went off! The audience was stellar (and numbered 72, which is HUGE for that little place - even with a ticket, Travis ended up sitting on the steps to the light booth.) The kids were awesome, the adults were awesome, everything was awesome, especially all things considered. And much like Patrick Swayze did for Jennifer Grey in Dirty Dancing, Nick made me look much better than I actually am. I love him so much it, it, it flames...flames, on the side of my face... I really was not expecting the audience to respond as MUCH as they did though - there were so many hoots and cheers during our song that Dan had to keep vamping between verses until we could start again. See, because Nick's just awesome like that.

Here's another happy - this morning on the way home from the farmer's market in Winter Park, a school of ducks crossed the street in front of me. That's just the cutest thing.

It is a glorious day! I finally got some sleep, thank God. I had just a small nervous breakdown on the way to the theatre - I could NOT stop crying, just from sheer exhaustion. I can't even imagine how tired some other people (Britt, Layne, Cathy, Amber) must have been. I knew fully well that I wouldn't have any chance of making it home from the theatre, so I had set up a makeshift bed in my backseat and had every intention of sleeping in the car - fortunately for me, someone else had a better idea. Right now I'm just enjoying having my butt in a chair, but not for long because it's way too beautiful out and I have to vacuum and clean the house a bit before I run off for the working Saturday lunch.

The phrase of the day was, "Your pizza will be ready in about 15 minutes." When one is sniffling and too exhausted to even bother with eating, the handsome-man-bearing-pizza-and-a-hug scenario even outranks the handsome-man-bearing-sushi-and-a-hug scenario from last week.

And like the horribly bad parent I am, I have been plying my poor neglected Little Bit with homemade treats from the Farmer's Market all morning. "I know I'm never home, but here's some food to make up for it." You feel sorry for my future children already, don't you? Ahh, I can't wait for this week - because I have no plans and I'm going to sit on my ass on the couch with my puppy and just....nothing!

Now, I must get out from in front of the computer - it's a beautiful weekend, so enjoy it!
